ANTOINE ARNOUX, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

GAS-BURNER.

I Specification of Letters Patent No. 764, dated June 4, 1838.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTOINE ARNOUX, of the city of New York, in theState of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement. inGas-Burners.

My object is to produce the greatest quantity of light'from a givenquantity of gas. This can be done only by its combustion at a heat sohigh as to consume those particles which would otherwise pass off insmoke.

The intensity of the flame of a gas light depends upon the shape anddimensions of the flame, the disposition of the burner, and the relationof the flame to the air. The shape and dimensions of the flame depend onthe bore of the burner, the number of holes through which the gasescapes and their diameter and distance from each other. The heat of theflame depends upon the supply of air and the manner in which it issupplied to aid combustion.

The following is a full and exact description of my improved gas burner.I refer to the annexed drawing. I make a cylindrical socket of brass tobe connected with the gas pipe of which Figure l is an outline, and Fig.2 a vertical out. It is conical at the top to correspond with the sidesof the cone D Fig. 4 on Figs. 1 and 2.

C is *the nut of the screw to connect with the gas pipe. It connectswith the socket by the tubes 6, Z).

k is a conduit through the middle of the socket for the passage of acurrent of air within the circle of the flame.

b, b, b, are the interior of the socket and the tubes connecting withthegas pipe.

Fig. 3 is a ring of steel or other superior metal forming the top .ofthe socket. It is perforated with holes through which the gas escapesfrom the interior of the socket and is then lighted. B is the upperorifice of the conduit h. i

In Fig. 2 2', '5, is a shoulder around the bottom of the socket whichsupports the gallery (Fig. 5). The gallery slides over the socket andrests upon the shoulders.

Fig. 5 isa horizontal cut of the gallery 9, 9, being a ring which restsupon the shoulder z, 7.. f, f, are openings through which the air passesoutside of the socket,

D is a cone of sheet brass or other metal which is attached by solderingor otherwise to the gallery 6, e, and extends 1/12 of. an inch above thetop of the socket. E is a cylindrical glass chimney six inches. highresting upon the gallery outside of the cone.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of thewhole burner. The model depositedshows all the parts combined without the glass chimney. The holes in thering through which the gas escapes, should be, for gas fromfatsubstances 1/50 of an inch in diameter and 12/100 of an inch distantfrom each other. For coal gas 1/32 of an inch in diameter and 16/100 ofan inch apart.

The Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4:, 5 are all of the proper full sizes for therespective parts. The burning of the gas heats the socket. This causes adraft or current of heated air to pass through the conduit 72. andanother current to pass up between the cone and the socket, and by theirform it is made to converge and in the proper quantity feed the flame.bility and steadiness to the supply of air.

I thus produce a flame of greater length increasing the heat so asentirely to consume the smoke and to give greater purity, steadiness andbrilliancy to the lightwith a saving of gas varying from ,20 to 50 percent. or

more.

I claim as my invention The increasing the length of the socket andgiving it the conical form at the top and the placing over it the cone.
